Faberge eggs

Here at last is the picture of my Easter eggs as promised. This year, in view of my weight-loss regime (of which, ahem, more later), I decided to go for quality rather than quantity with two exquisite painted eggs from Rococo chocolates. They looked almost too good to eat but somehow we managed. (The cellophane-wrapped object on the right is the little Easter nest, made of chocolate and Shredded Wheat, which the Minx ‘made’ for us at nursery – she is such a precocious child).

I also recently found these rather amusing instructions for creating Faberge Easter eggs from the quite brilliant Pimp My Snack.
